On an appearance with CNN’s Dana Bash, Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman acknowledged that Kamala Harris may be losing Jewish voters in Pennsylvania because of other Democrats’ less fervent support of Israel. Fetterman reassured Bash...

Jimmy Dore
Hey, come see us on two. We're going to be in Los Angeles, Columbus, Ohio, Dayton, Cleveland, Cincinnati, lexicon, Kentucky, Burbank, California and Honolulu. Go to Jimmy Dore.com for a link.
Russell Dobular
For tickets, there's the Jimmy Dore Show. Russell speaking. Who's calling, please?
Tim Walz
Russell, how the hell are you? This is Governor Tim Walz of the great state of Minnesota.
Russell Dobular
Oh, hello, Governor. Nice to meet you.
Tim Walz
Now, now, where's Jimmy today? Where did he go? Oh, I'm beyond tickled to make your acquaintance, Russell. Don't get me wrong for a minute there, but I was sure as heck looking forward to talking to my old friend Jimmy Dore. Russell, where's Jimmy today?
Russell Dobular
Jimmy is on assignment.
Tim Walz
Oh, I see. Sounds important. If I know Jimmy like I think I do, he's going to ace that assignment like nobody's business, whatever it is. You know, Russell, Jimmy and I have a very strong friendship and a very unique one considering he doesn't like me very much.
Russell Dobular
Is that so?
Tim Walz
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that so, because he's told me to my face several times and it did not appear that he was kidding at all.
Russell Dobular
Why do. Why would Jimmy not like you?
Tim Walz
Oh, I can't be sure, Russell. You know Jimmy, he's a bit of a mystery. Kind of hard to read sometimes. But if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say he sees my phony baloney raw. Aw, shucks, I'm just a regular Midwestern guy act. He doesn't buy it when I'm like, oh, what do I.
Kurt Metzger
What do I know?
Tim Walz
I'm just an old white guy. I say we put a powerful woman of color in charge and see what she can do. And he sees me for exactly what I am.
Russell Dobular
Well, is it a Phony act.
Tim Walz
Honestly, Russell, I've been in politics so long, I don't even know myself anymore. I'm driven almost against my will by an animating force from deep within that compels me to virtual signal virtue. Signal with an almost manic intensity. Like a shit lib quasar that can be detected millions of light years away.
Russell Dobular
I see.
Tim Walz
And beyond that, I think Jimmy detects me. A deep ambition roiling yet restrained. That season the Vice presidency. An opportunity for me to accrue massive power behind the scenes. I don't know for sure, but I think that's what he thinks anyway. That I will be the Cheney to Kamala's Bush. Okay, that didn't sound good, but you know what I mean. The secret mastermind pulling the springs strings behind the feckless presidential figurehead.
Russell Dobular
Okay, Governor, I can't anymore tell if you're saying what Jimmy thinks you are, if you're. Or if you're admitting to all this.
Tim Walz
I don't know, Russell. I really just. Just respect the hell out of Jimmy. I guess that's my point. You know, I've been very frank in the past about how I could be a knucklehead sometimes. And I can admit that I'm pretty sure Jimmy thinks that's just my way of covering my ass. In a folksy way, when I get caught lying about something or something comes up from my past that makes me look bad.
Russell Dobular
Well, is that the case, Russell?
Tim Walz
You know what? At this point, I'm too much of a knucklehead to even tell the difference. Take this Chinese woman, for example. In case you hadn't heard, a Chinese woman has come forward saying that she and I had a torrid affair when I was teaching in China and she was the daughter of a communist official and also that I broke her little Chinese heart. Now, I don't know what the big scandal is here, whether it's an interracial thing or that it means I have ties to China, or maybe it's just about ghosting a woman, I don't know. But I could definitely knucklehead my way out of this one.
Russell Dobular
How?
Tim Walz
Well, Russell, as I've said before, I can be a real knucklehead sometimes. And when it comes to affairs of the heart, I was a major knucklehead before I met my lovely Caucasian wife. So if I hurt this lady's feelings, I'm very sorry. And as far as the communist thing goes, hello, it's China. It's a communist country. If you want any kind of job at all. You need to be a member of the party. But more importantly, if you've been to college, you know, it's the girls who call themselves communists who really put out, like, a lot.
Russell Dobular
Okay, I see.
Tim Walz
See how I folksy folked my way out of that. Nice try, Republicans. You're gonna have to do better than that. Also, please don't.
Russell Dobular
Well, glad to see how you've made yourself impervious to suspicion with your little act there.
Tim Walz
Act? What act? I don't even know what you're talking about. Gotcha.
Russell Dobular
You got me.
Jimmy Dore
You got me.
Russell Dobular
Okay, Governor, I'm afraid we have to go.
Tim Walz
Oh, darn. I was having fun. Okay. Oh, hey, when you talk to Jimmy, give him my best, okay? Boy, I miss him. I can't wait to talk to him again soon. If everything goes well on Tuesday, maybe I can call Jimmy every week for four years. Hell, maybe. Maybe even if we lose. I can do that. It's sure nice to have friends. Okay, gentlemen, as you were. Coach Walls says, have a great show.
Jimmy Dore
All right.
Russell Dobular
Thank you, Coach. That was very inspirational.
Jimmy Dore
Establishment media sucks. August lighting so good luck bullshit we can't afford While he's fomenting this watch and see as his jack golf the medium speeds and jumps the medium and.
Tim Walz
Hit some head on.
Jimmy Dore
It's the Jimmy door show. So some Jewish voters in presidential swing states reconsider their longtime devotion to Democrats. This is real. So CNN just had Fetterman on and he signals that the Harris campaign is scrambling after not being able to court the Jewish vote in Pennsylvania. How do you manage to both lose Pennsylvania Jews and Michigan Muslims at the same time? That is a special kind of incompetent.
Kurt Metzger
How do you make no one happy? Either go all in on genocide or no genocide.
Jimmy Dore
So, well, let's listen. Here he is. Here is putting on the rats himself. Ladies and gentlemen.
Kurt Metzger
What is your message.
Jimmy Dore
To Jewish voters who are concerned about supporting Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania? 300,000 Jewish voters there.
John Fetterman
Well, I know we've had a conversation about the situation with Israel and Gaza in that situation. And I've even. I've disagreed with the president, anyone about this. You know, I've been a very consistent kind of voice throughout all this, been on that side of. For Israel. And now we have a diversity of opinion with the Democratic Party. And it's not. It is possible that may have alienated some members of. Of the Jewish community. But my voice is only my voice. And I've been committed. I'm following. I'm going to follow Israel throughout all of this. So my opinion isn't really likely going to change. And it is absolutely an issue here.
Jimmy Dore
I like how he says, I'm going to follow Israel all the way through this. So what I get from that response, he's 100% committed to representing Israel in Congress, which is really weird because he was elected by Pennsylvania.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
But his real.
Kurt Metzger
That's clear.
Jimmy Dore
Here we go.
John Fetterman
At the election. But I do think that it's going to make sure that it's going to be going to be very close.
Jimmy Dore
So that answer is the perfect example of the democratization of response that the artificial left is now universally mocked for talking like that. I call him the oaf of office, if you like.
Kurt Metzger
He took an oath. He had an oath of office.
Jimmy Dore
He took an oath of office. He's smart enough not to rock the boat. He wants to be invited on board to. That's what that is.
Kurt Metzger
He does look like a guy that pulls nets up on the side of the boat.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. He would never bite the hand that feeds him. Although he does require hand feeding. What? He says, I'm going to follow Israel. Although. What does that mean? He's going to follow Israel on this. What is that? Is he explicitly saying that no matter what Israel does, he'll support them? Because that's kind of scary. That is what he's saying.
Kurt Metzger
Well, it sounds like he's saying, look, I don't care who votes for who. I follow Israel. Like, whatever's happening with the voters has no bearing on his position.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. That's right. He's. That's what he's saying. No matter what's happening with the voters.
Kurt Metzger
Hey, that's not gonna. Israel cool, right? Israel.
Jimmy Dore
Israel. I'm all about Israel.
Kurt Metzger
Don't. Don't run me out of the. You know, what's. The squad got broken up.
Jimmy Dore
I know it's what. Yeah. I would know which. Where my bread is buttered and it's Israel. And even if I lose my next election, Israel's gonna take care of me. So I just. I don't understand how. How you could be so incompetent as to lose. The Jews in Pennsylvania and the Muslims in Michigan.
Kurt Metzger
Trump is getting both of them. Are you joking? The Muslims and the Jews.
Jimmy Dore
The Muslim. All the Muslim mayors in Michigan endorsed Trump. I didn't cover that story. But I did. I'm pretty sure I saw that headline.
Kurt Metzger
Oh, inshallah.
Jimmy Dore
And so. And it's not. And I don't think it's that those people are such big fans of Donald Trump, but they know and which is what Shama Sawant has said that you have to. And ironically that Peter Douche guy who used to work for the Clinton foundation, he also made this argument that you have to punish the Democrats for funding a genocide. You have to, at some point you have to punish them and you can't keep voting for. Look at what the lesser of two voting, voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us. It's gotten to us where people proudly say they're going to support a person funding a literal genocide, a slaughter of women and children because they prioritize their own abortion rights. That is the most self centered bullshit I've ever heard in my life or trans rights or immigration status over the slaughter of the most vulnerable people in the world. That is called self centered garbage. You are now your lesser of two evil. Voting has now gotten you to the point where you're literally supporting a genocide, the slaughter of women and children en masse. That's where it's. That's. So that's why I stopped doing that. Last time I did that was 2012. I voted for Barack Obama. I thought he was the lesser of two evil with Mitt Romney. I was wrong. I was wrong. He wasn't.
Kurt Metzger
Jimmy, they're not like if you're voting for Democrats for abortion, you should be doing what the Arabs are doing and punishing them for promising to save abortion rights and not doing it. Two Democratic in a row. Day one, I'm going to codify Roe v. Wade. They don't codify it. Then you hear, well, they couldn't do it because, well, why did you say you could do it? So I don't think it has anything to do with that issue. I think that's just what they're saying on tv.
Jimmy Dore
I've had people say, oh well, they couldn't codify Roe versus Wade even though Barack Obama, what could they say it to?
Kurt Metzger
Me.
Jimmy Dore
Barack Obama ran on codify. He says that my first order of business when I'm president, my first priority, he said, Biden said it. He said Barack Obama said is to codify Roe versus Wade. And then as soon as he got elected, they asked him, are you going to codify Roe versus Wade? And you know what his response was? It's not my priority. What? And so now I have people apologizing for Barack Obama. They go, well, he couldn't anyway because they didn't have the votes in the Senate. Well, just what Kurt said. Well then why did you promise it? First of all, they did. They had the Supermajority Democrats. And they say, well, Manchin wouldn't have went along with it. Well, that's when the President comes in and uses his leverage and squeezes someone for a vote. That's what you do. And you promised Joe Manchin that you're more popular than a senator from fucking West Virginia. That you just got elected. An overwhelming landslide. And you're going to make his life hell from now until kingdom come if he doesn't vote to codify. So that's. That's not. They know apparently Joe Manchin's more pop. More powerful than the President of the United States. That's been the lie all along. And people who I know and respect repeat that lie. Oh, well, they can cause a Manchin. Yeah, that's not how it works, Jimmy.
Kurt Metzger
Did he take over where Robert Byrd was. Robert Bird was West Virginia. Right. The Klansman guy.
Jimmy Dore
I'm pretty sure, yeah.
Kurt Metzger
The one that they all went to his funeral.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. And said he was a great guy. Yeah.
Kurt Metzger
So I don't know what it is about beyond the normal powers of the Senate you're supposed to get. There's something about that particular seat in West Virginia that wields a crazy amount of power. And I know Robert Byrd did because he's a Klansman they had to suck up to even after he's dead. You know, some kind of.
Jimmy Dore
What it is, is that. What's his name? What's the guy, the current Manchin. Manchin is the biggest corporate whore that Democrats have. It used to be Joe Biden, but then it was Manchin. And I mean, he's right up there. So what he has is the power of the donor class behind him. So that's why Manchin has that power.
Kurt Metzger
So literal Satan.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, so that's why he has that kind of power, because he's the. He's the walking, talking mouthpiece of the donor class. There's no. There's no anything. There's no original thought in Manchin's head. Every thought, every thought he has has been implanted by a donor. By a billionaire. The people who actually run the country.
Kurt Metzger
That sounds better than Kamala. That sounds like Kamala, except he can talk.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, that's right. And that's what Kamala Harris is. Kamala Harris is a walking, talking embodiment of a donor class. And every avatar, every idea she has has been implanted and given to her by a billionaire. And that's a fact. By the war machine. What do you think? All the people in the war machine. Dick Cheney and Liz said that her foreign policy. They've said it. That they like her foreign policy better than Donald Trump's. You know why? Because Donald Trump isn't a warmonger like them.
Kurt Metzger
And they had it programmed in her Dumb Head and MKUltra 100%.
Jimmy Dore
I had an online discussion with someone I've known for 30 years in Hollywood, considers themselves a liberal and they just come out and say it. And I said, you know what, at some point I have to admire your courage for just coming out and saying that you prioritize abortion rights and immigration status of migrants above the slaughter of innocent women and children. I go most Harris people aren't that clear when they say that. But you are. That's just amazing. That's called morally indefensible. That's called self centered into the nth degree. You say Trump is a narcissist. What the hell do you call that?
Kurt Metzger
How come it's all these people way past childbearing age worrying about the states of their own laws and about abortion? By the way, they didn't end abortion. Trump didn't do anything about it.
Jimmy Dore
Right. And by the way, Ruth Bader.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
And Ruth Bader Ginsburg was favored Trump's policy. That's another thing they don't tell you on the news. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was for sending the abortion issue, Roe v. Wade back to the states just like Donald Trump. People don't know that. And if you tell them that, they, they won't, you know, but these are the same.
Kurt Metzger
California is not in any danger of losing. Like what the hell are you talking about?
Jimmy Dore
These are the same people who still tell you that they thank God for the, for the COVID vaccine. Those are the same in the same conversation. That's, that was also said to me. So these people, these people are ignorant on purpose. They're ignorant on purpose. And they call themselves liberal, yet they repeat big pharma propaganda war machine propaganda and they're against free speech and they call themselves liberal. There's nothing liberal about you. Because, because you, because you've been tricked into prioritizing abortion rights over the. Over a genocide.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, I'm going to guess they don't have any conviction about it either way. It's a lifestyle. Why do jerk offs move to Hollywood in the first place? To live the lifestyle that you heard about in Hollywood when people move there. You know, I moved there because I had a job. That's why I moved there. But people go there with their like the most moronic dreams that you could imagine. A lot. Most of Them end up on Hollywood Boulevard, which is not far from Race to Live in Hollywood.
Jimmy Dore
Right?
Kurt Metzger
And not a single one. Dude, remember how impassioned they were about the Dalai Lama. Remember that one of these dumb, dumb actors. Oh my God, Tibet and Free Tibet and blah blah, blah. Tibet. The only people that bring up Tibet now are random troll gamers. Just to have a laugh. Like that disappeared. So they don't have any real cares about anything other than being in the group. And that means toeing the line that you heard from the TV to say, wow. People post like post menopause yapping about abortion. Shut up.
Jimmy Dore
And it is amazing to watch them repeat stuff that they've heard on the TV like it's real. They still, they could be 50 years old. 50, 50 year old people who don't understand that the TV news isn't real plasticity. And they, and they think I'm the one spreading, spreading misinformation.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, well, I mean, you. A lot of jerk offs is what I'm getting from it. Every time I hear this story, I'm like, did you know anybody that wasn't a jerk off? Or everybody you knew was some old comic improv douche? Except for the few people that I meet that hang out still.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Kurt Metzger
But I knew all that when I got into comedy. I could see it. They're all like that. They're not going to jeopardize their imaginary. Like all these people are imaginary dukes and duchesses in their head. Okay. Even if they don't say the title, they don't want to lose their noble status. Do you understand that?
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Kurt Metzger
It's like a title.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Kurt Metzger
That's what liberal is. Like I'm a, like there should be a silent K in front of it. I'm a liberal of the roundtable.
Jimmy Dore
It's, it's a, it's, it's a, it's just, it's really stunning. The people who I used to, I hung out with for over a decade, a decade and a half, who has shared big laughs with.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah. Almost like they're in a trance because that's a thing that's been going on.
Jimmy Dore
For many, many years. It's like they're in, they're in.
Kurt Metzger
Hip TV is doing something to them, isn't it?
Jimmy Dore
I mean, people, people who I used to open for who had TV shows, now it's. And you know, it's like I say about, it's like I say about Jim Gaffigan who did a great job at the Al Smith that was, you know, he was going against his brand. So I give him a tip of the hat. But, you know, and I was, I'm a super big fan of Jim Gavigan's comedy. He's a great comedian and he, he, he, he would never be political like most people in their comedy because they want to attract, they don't want to split their audience. They don't want to turn off half the country until it came to Trump. And he's like, well, I've got to say something now. And I'm like, no, the time to say something was when Barack Obama was governing like Ronald Reagan. And how do I know that? Because that's what Barack Obama said. He said my policies would be considered moderate Republican like Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. If it was the 1980s.
Kurt Metzger
Ronald Reagan sucked ass.
Jimmy Dore
Maybe if you actually governed like a progressive lefty and you gave people actual healthcare instead of a right wing giveaway to the big pharma and the insurance companies. Maybe if you didn't kick 5.1 million families out of their homes while you made the sure the bankers got their bonuses. Maybe if you sided with the people at Occupy Wall street instead of Wall Street. Maybe if you didn't drop, maybe if you didn't take us from two wars to seven. Maybe if you didn't drop more bombs than George Bush, maybe people wouldn't have a reason to vote for Donald Trump. Maybe, maybe, maybe if you weren't trying to pass the international version of NAFTA while Hillary Clinton was running for president, which is what he was doing, trying to pass this.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, that's getting us close to our one world government. Have the free trade, our new World Order that they've talked about over and over throughout the years, which I, when someone would bring it up, I would go, shut up. What is that New World Order. They were saying it every, all the time.
Jimmy Dore
And so they on tv. Yeah, they think that all of a sudden Trump discovered all these racists in America. Trump, by the way, who did the step back which let black people out of prison? Joe Biden. Who did this crime bill which put all the black people in prison. Isn't ironic how twisted they can get it, you know? So instead of trying to figure out, hey, why did, why did people have voted for Bernie Sanders then turn around and vote for, for Donald Trump? Why did working class people. Well, maybe it was because the Democratic Party said that we don't care if we lose blue collar workers because we're not even trying to appeal to them. It never. So that's the, that's what my message to Jim Gaffigan is is that why don't you, why don't you look, take one more step and look into why those people were willing to vote for Donald Trump, including black people in Milwaukee, in Wisconsin, who wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton. Why not figure that out? Why wouldn't.
Kurt Metzger
There's a lot of white supremacists are black now. Sad to say, that's how corrosive Trump's effect has been, coupled with Tucker Carlson, the most corrosive other element of society.
Jimmy Dore

The guy, the senator from Pennsylvania. And anyway, he admitted. So here is. You're going to see him admit to Rogan that he knew the Russia gate thing was a, was a hoax. Watch this. You think I'm kidding? Watch this.
Mike McRae
Legitimate outsider. This is the appeal. The appeal is that.
Jimmy Dore
And by the way, it's, it's nice that he wore his, his UPS uniform to the Joe Rogan podcast. Very nice.
Kurt Metzger
He was just getting a package, like a letter from Kamala saying she will make it. I need you to sign here.
Jimmy Dore
Joe, the guy is such a slob.
Kurt Metzger
Well, is he? It looks like a put on look. I'm a slob. No, no.
Jimmy Dore
It's like Michael Moore. Michael Moore pretends he's a slob when Michael Moore dyes his hair. So you know, he cares about his appearance. Because Michael Moore, 60 years old, he has a full head of gray hair like me and he still dyes his hair. There's nothing wrong with that. I used to dye my hair up until Covid. I'm just saying that I didn't also pretend to be a slob because that is a costume that Michael Moore wears. Just like a costume that this guy wears when you see him with a hoodie. That is a costume that he's wearing to try to make you think he's a regular person.
Kurt Metzger
He always wears board shorts and fought for that ability in Congress. Dude, you're from Pennsylvania. How do you just wear board shorts all year?
Jimmy Dore
I know. Here we go.
Kurt Metzger
Not from Florida.
Jimmy Dore
So here we go.
Mike McRae
Legitimate outsider. This is the appeal. The appeal is that people think that this system is completely rigged and it's captured by money and special interests and enormous corporations. And that here's a guy who's outside of this system completely, and the evidence of that is how the system turned against him and how you got to see people on television every night talking about Russiagate, talking about how he's a puppet of Putin, talking about the Steele dossier, talking about all these different things that turned out to not be true. And it further.
John Fetterman
I never bought into some of that kind of a stuff, because if anyone that spent any time.
Jimmy Dore
He never bought into any of that stuff. Where'd Kurt go? He never bought into any of that stuff. He never bought. He never bought into any of that stuff. He just says it. He never bought into any of that stuff. You want to hear that again? Because I do. This is amazing.
Mike McRae
Legitimate outsider. This is the appeal. The appeal is that people think that this system is completely rigged and it's captured by money and special interests and enormous corporations, and that here's a guy who's outside of this system completely, and the evidence of that is how the system turned against him and how you got to see people on television every night talking about Russiagate, talking about how he's a puppet of Putin, talking about the Steele dossier, talking about all these different things that turned out to not be true. And it further bought in.
John Fetterman
I never bought into.
Jimmy Dore
He never bought. He never bought into what?
John Fetterman
That kind of a stuff.
Jimmy Dore
He never bought into Russiagate or the pee tape or the Russia. He never bought into any of it. Wheelie, then why didn't you say anything?
Kurt Metzger
Well, it's not politically smart to do that. You know how in politics you're supposed to be a piece of shit and we all know it. And they had a show called House of Cards we're supposed to admire. And the West Wing, he's like, oh, that was savvy. What a savvy politician. And at the same time, while pretending to be moral, we glorify people that are fucking liars and then go, trump's a liar. And then we're all supposed to go, what? A liar got in.
Jimmy Dore
A politician lying in Washington.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, heavens to Murgatroy. Everybody accepts this satanic thing. Again, I'm not being in a religious Sense. This is what Satanism is, where you serve nothing greater than yourself and you do the smart political thing like your friends that don't talk to you. Well, I want to be good as a court in King Louis court of France, where I am in my head. So they all like. Or the chick Ketanji Brown in the Supreme Court. What's a woman. I'm not a biologist. That was in the world of these pieces of shit. That's a very clever answer to normal people. It's insane.
Jimmy Dore
So, Kurt, once congresspeople have the right to speak out about the fraudulent propaganda applied on the American people, the ones responsible will immediately be brought down. Just kidding.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah. No, Israel told him he could say that.
Jimmy Dore
Of course, the ones responsible will be uni Party darlings and they'll be made into action figures like Bernie Sanders or Fetterman, who comes with a hoodie. That's it. He doesn't have any other accessories in his actual wardrobe.
Kurt Metzger
Bernie's like an inaction figure.
Jimmy Dore
There should be. There should be a documentary of political non answers. And he would be in the trailer. I don't mean in the trailer for the film. I mean, he would be waiting in the trailer, if you know what I'm talking about. Here. Here's more.
Kurt Metzger
He's got more.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, he's got more to say because.
John Fetterman
If anyone that spent any time on the ground in one of those states, it's like, it's very clear that wasn't because of some. Some small kinds of tweets and things like, whatever, it's undeniable. And also remember, like, he was, you know, the Republican Party was like, hey, this is a joke. And I remember Jeb Bush, you know, and he had like 100 or $200 million. And he just went by. He ticked him off. And even then people thought he was going to win, but he did. But remember though, overall, though, that was 75,000 votes. That's a mathematical, like, you know, I mean, think of that. 160 million votes, 75,000 spread across three large states, including my own, that transform American politics and in the world as well. And it just came down to 75,000 voters in those three states. And that's kind of where that's where we're at.
Jimmy Dore
So it came down to 75,000 votes, huh? Well, that sounds like a strong incentive for rigging the next election.
Kurt Metzger
A little bit does. Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
So now we know why Democrats. Democrats did zero soul searching after Hillary lost. They were so close to their dumb plan succeeding like that FTX kid.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah. And he would have succeeded. He would have gotten away with it if not for foreign interference from that Chinese guy who also. I can't remember his dumb name, but that guy who had a crypto thing, he, he Russian interfered with the FTX kid's plan and had the FTX kid not got caught, he would have been able to pay everyone back. His bets ended up being right. Did you see that?
Jimmy Dore
No.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, in the long run, he was totally right, but he just was committing a crime the whole time. And had he not been called out by the other guy, he would have been able to get away with it. And that's exactly what the.
Jimmy Dore
And so now 75,000 votes over three states swings, that can decide an election. They just, they just imported 20 million illegal aliens and they were shipping them to those swing states and they're giving them credit cards and they're giving them housing and they're giving them food and they're. Wait a minute.
Kurt Metzger
That sounds like the great replacement.
Jimmy Dore
It sounds like the great. And the people who live there, like in my home city, Chicago, the black people in Chicago are furious about it. They're like, where'd you get all this money for these illegal aliens? We've been asking for money for our communities for decades, and all of a sudden you got. Because that's not about. It's about swinging elections. That's a. That's what's going on.
Kurt Metzger
Well, not just that. They also have to fill the military ranks. Chicken has to fire the people having.
Jimmy Dore
Right now, having illegal immigration flood the country has myriad uses for the establishment.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, one is every part of the buffalo.
Jimmy Dore
What One is to get them to a path to citizenry so they can vote for you in swing states so you'll never have a Trump again. Another pat is because we can't meet our recruiting goals with the military, so now they can become go in the military so they can get their citizenship. That takes care of that. And another thing is to keep wages down. So because we have a tight labor market and unions are starting to gain control, so they have to undermine labor. And what do they do? They flood it. And so now. And that. This isn't to demonize illegal immigrants. This is not about that. This is about them pitting working class people against even poor, more desperate people who. Who are the illegal immigrants. That's what this is about. And I would be doing exactly the same thing those immigrants are doing. I'd be trying to come to America to get a better life because the United States economic hitmen destroyed their country and put sanctions on it and made their life so miserable that they'd be willing to leave their own country and go to another country. That's how miserable we made their lives. So I'm not. Again, this isn't to demonize. This is to make sure you don't demonize the immigrants and keep your eye on the ball and get mad at your legislators and the people who are doing this to you.
Kurt Metzger
And these companies. Stop supporting the companies that do that if they're getting money from the government to fire Americans. And insource. That was a comedy thing from a Adam McKay movie, by the way. Insourcing. That was in the election.
Jimmy Dore
That's what they're doing. That's what the Haitians.
Kurt Metzger
And they rigged the voting machines, they rigged the electronic. The Mosch brothers did. Remember when we were had to worry about the Koch brothers? That was the big evil, remember that?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Kurt Metzger
And that was just a minor nothing evil compared to the evil that runs your whole dumb country. Save your hatred for John Fetterman and AOC and all the people that have been in power and all the companies and capitalism. This is what I want people to get is where they stop being loyal to these words. I am a Marxist, I'm a capitalist, you moron. Those are things they made up for poor people to talk about. The people on top, they just keep everything. It's feudalism forever. They got the blood of kings. And you don't. So fuck you. So they stop being a chump.
Jimmy Dore
They spent 200 years stealing from the poor and then they spent the last 50 years stealing from the middle class. And now there's no more middle class. Everybody's poor. And now they're importing, even poor people. That's what they're doing.
Kurt Metzger
Well, the pyramid scheme, that's your capitalism.
Jimmy Dore
Your capitalism has just like Marx predicted, it takes over the governments, it eats itself. And you don't have any choice. So that's the problem we hated about communism. Communism, you don't have any choice. Well that's the exact same thing with capitalism. Now we have two planemakers in the whole fucking world. Now you can't help but fly into Boeing and Boeing is doing illegal unsafe shit. But why? Why are they doing that? So they could make even more money. That's capitalism. And what do they do? And they get the. They have military contracts and then they buy them regulatory agencies. So just like with the FDA and the CDC and you know, half the drugs they approve they have to actually take them back because they end up injuring people. And they're toxic. Same thing with the. It's the. So that your capitalism has led to the same place communism leads. They're censoring you. They're imprisoning their political opponents. They take it. They've taken away competition. They've taken away your choice. And they become warmongers.
Kurt Metzger
They're no matter what. Mafia.
Jimmy Dore
That's the mafia, right? We live in a mafia state.
Kurt Metzger
What mafia do you want to run your state?
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Kurt Metzger
Because the part that they tell you what the. How it works, that's all bullshit for you to hear, like a stupid hypnotized child. The way they work is you don't get to know shit. And they make deals behind the scenes and they have wars without you even knowing. And then you have to go die in a war when they're inner war doesn't work out.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Kurt Metzger
It's just been going on for how long? And you still got to qualify that it's a bad idea to flood illegal immigrants in. Why would you have to qualify that at all? That's the thing. We know for hundreds of years the oligarchs have done. Why? Because your dumb friends in Hollywood will be mad at you. Fuck them. Fuck all these people. I'm not qualifying shit I say. I'm just gonna say what I say.
Jimmy Dore
Eric Abenante tweets this out. He says Bill Maher waits until after the show. He does. He does his regular show, and then he does what they call overtime. Right? So I don't even know how you get to see that. How do you get to see the overtime show?
Kurt Metzger
Keep watching online after you.
Jimmy Dore
You have to watch online. You don't get. It's not on hbo.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, okay. Okay. So he waits till after the show's over and they go online. And then he admits that the Liz Cheney scandal about Donald Trump saying that he wanted to kill her is bogus and it's an orchestrated lie by the liberal media. You want it? You want. Yeah. Okay, here we go. Let's watch Bill do it. Here we go.
Bill Maher
What do you make of the statement? I woke up today to the headline that Trump had called for a firing squad for Liz Cheney. And this is what I really don't like about the media. No, he didn't.
Jimmy Dore
He didn't. You don't.
Bill Maher
You don't have to move me to not like Donald Trump.
Jamie Raskin
He says so many shitty things.
Jimmy Dore
But isn't it. Isn't it rewarding, though, Kurt, when our thought leaders like Bill Maher eventually come to the conclusions that we've been living with for years and years. He finally found out something about the media he doesn't like. They're lying about Donald Trump. Isn't that amazing? He finally figured that out. I figured that out in 2016.
Kurt Metzger
Well, I like that he tastefully waited until overtime to bring up his concerns.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. That's right. Here we go.
Bill Maher
What do you make of the statement? I woke up today to the headline that Trump had called for a firing squad for Liz Cheney. And this is what I really don't like about the media. No, he didn't.
Jamie Raskin
He didn't.
Bill Maher
You don't have to move me to not like Donald Trump.
Jamie Raskin
He says so many shitty things. Why do you have to?
Bill Maher
And by the way, if people don't realize it, well, here's what he says. He's criticizing him for being a war hawk. I mean, she is Dick Cheney's daughter. He said, she's a radical warhawk. Let's put her with a rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Okay. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, they're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, oh, gee, we'll send tens of thousands of troops right into the mouth of the enemy. Now, of course, he expresses himself horribly. He has to add, she's a stupid person because he's a moron.
Jamie Raskin
What it's really like.
Jimmy Dore
So I don't think he expressed himself horribly. I don't think it's a. I think it was reported in a stupid way to create outrage amongst the stupid. What's stupid is the Beltway twits imagining anyone would be outraged at a firing squad for Liz Cheney unless they're upset because Dick Cheney was spared. That I, that I get.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah. That's why I was upset and I was like, why just her? She's just a public at the guy, you know.
Jimmy Dore
And now watch, watch Jamie Raskin. He, this is, by the way, the guy who wants to he, I showed you at the show on Friday, go watch the video. He has a plan. If Donald Trump wins the election, he's not going to certify it and they're.
Kurt Metzger
Going to sad as his hair is colored black.
Jimmy Dore
So watch this Vietnam. So here we go.
Bill Maher
She's a stupid person because he's a moron.
Jamie Raskin
Well, she knows what it's really like from Vietnam.
Jimmy Dore
Okay.
Kurt Metzger
Just to be clear, this is.
Bill Maher
Exactly what hippies always said. This is exactly what peace Dicks always said. This is fortunate, son, the song. It's like you know what? It's very easy to sit in your building and send young men to die. Apropos of Ukraine.
Jamie Raskin
Yes.
Bill Maher
Because I don't know that war doesn't look like it's going in the right direction.
Jamie Raskin
Not at all.
Bill Maher
But just so you know, just, just don't lie.
Jimmy Dore
He doesn't build. He doesn't know if the Ukraine war is going in the right direction. It's going exactly where it's supposed to go, Bill. It's going nowhere and it's taking for fucking ever. Yeah, that's the whole point. Because everything else would be a loss leader for the military industrial complex. That's who you actually work for, Bill. Just like Julian Assange said, these wars aren't meant to be won, they're meant to be ongoing. Which is why Joe Biden has signed off for another 10 years of the Ukraine war.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah. Before. They made sure to get that in before in case Trump got in that we're committed for 10 years to the big. So we're gonna have an Afghanistan out of Ukraine again. We haven't won a war since World War II. We have not won a war. Grenada. I'm not counting. If you want to be funny. I'm not counting it.
Jimmy Dore
No.
Kurt Metzger
Why do we think we're the best? We haven't won since World War II.
Jimmy Dore
Trump. Trump could have said that Liz Cheney's numbers are sinking and the TV news would have reported that Trump's calling for Liz Cheney to be drowned like a witch.
Kurt Metzger
I'm calling for that.
Jimmy Dore
And by the way, you don't want to take a public poll on that one. Come on, Bill Maher. Your bosses lie to you and they lie to us all day. Liars. Lies are the daily required fiber for Americans diet. Every day it helps the bullshit keep flowing freely. How does Bill Maher not understand the war propaganda? How does he not get this, that.
Kurt Metzger
This is why it's called a trance. It's called a trance. It's called a trance. That's how all your friends are like that. That's how everyone's like that. They are in what's called a trance. And it gets reinforced by watching your fucking stories on tv. Like a stupid old lady who thinks soap operas are real.
Jimmy Dore
It's amazing. Here we go. There's more to this to me.
Bill Maher
I don't like Donald Trump. Don't lie to me and tell me she was, he wants in front of us a firing guard. He was saying something that, by the way, if it came out of the mouth, some of it, not the Stupid part.
Kurt Metzger
What's the stupid part again?
Bill Maher
Sounds like what hippies used to say about not sending people.
Jamie Raskin
I agree with you on lying. I mean, that is ridiculous and absurd and counterproductive. But when did Donald Trump ever criticize a war hawk the way a hippie did? I mean, was it during Vietnam?
Jimmy Dore
He got out of going just now. He just did it with Liz Cheney.
Kurt Metzger
That's when he was it during Vietnam. He said. So let me get this straight. He goes, oh, will Trump dodge Vietnam? Yes. He said the wars are bad.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Kurt Metzger
That's consistent with a hippie dodging Vietnam.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Kurt Metzger
You fucking liar. So he's trying to be like, when did he say war is bad? Was it during Vietnam?
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Kurt Metzger
He didn't go, that guy's a real piece of shit.
Jimmy Dore
JB Raskin is so pro war, he's wearing his Kevlar hair.
Kurt Metzger
He's such a cancer. Spit him out. He's so distasteful.
Jimmy Dore
That's. That's. That's not. I. You know, during COVID I had hockey hair. That's combat hair. That's what he's got. Here we go. Vietnam.
Jamie Raskin
But he didn't criticize the war. There are.
Bill Maher
Jamie, I'm not defending Trump.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Bill Maher
I'm just saying, don't lie to me.
Jamie Raskin
I agree with that. I mean, that's. That's just counterproductive. I mean, Trump, people you talk to, who talk about the media and giving them any ammunition like this. I mean, I saw headlines, chyrons, on television this morning saying that Donald Trump had said that Kamala Harris should be executed. I mean, the beginning of that kind of rambling, incoherent thing should give her a weapon, which is not typically something you do to somebody.
Bill Maher
And again, the spirit of it is something that if someone with the blue hat said it, people would noddle along on the left. Yes, exactly.
Jamie Raskin
There's plenty of things he says. You don't have to invent them. Can I just say one?
Jimmy Dore
So Bill is saying that it sounds like the people who are Democrats are in a cult and they just reflexively oppose anything from. And so they've taught you to now hate half your country. They've taught you to hate half your country. And every leader falls into that trap of hating half the country. You gotta hate half the country. Russell Dobular talked about this in his speech at the peace rally I was just at in New York last Saturday. He talked about that they all do this. That you gotta somehow hate half the country that you are. You claim to want to Save that is a trap I'm not falling into. And that's why all my asshole ex friends in Hollywood hate me. Because I don't hate Republicans. I don't hate Trump voters. I don't hate. You know why? Because they're the people the Democratic Party turn their fucking backs on. They're the workers. They're the blue collar people of this country. That's why I won't hate them. Because we all share common enemy, which is the oligarchy. And of course they want us to hate each other because if we ever woke up to that's their game, we would be able to overthrow them. And so the fucking morons that I know in comedy in Hollywood all are easily in a trance. They are hypnotized and they're propagandized and they have no fucking idea that they are none. And they think because I don't hate who they hate because I'll. Oh, you talk to the wrong people. People tell me I prop up Tucker Carlson, you're voting for a genocide.
Kurt Metzger
Wait, you Tucker Carlson?
Jimmy Dore
Yes. That's.
Kurt Metzger
He's bigger than any news they watch.
Jimmy Dore
I said I need prop him up. I have to explain that to him. He's not. I'm not propping up Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson is allowing me to talk to his audience who I can then convince on Julian Assange and ending the wars. That's what they don't. That's what I'm doing. And Tucker Carlson's helping me do that. And a lot of those people I meet at my shows and they tell me that, yeah, I woke up to how bullshit the wars are from watching you and I appreciate you not hating me. Ex military guys. I have ex military guys. People who've served in wars on three different continents. That was a direct quote to me. He goes, and I watch your show and I see that was wrong. And I have people ex military want to give me their medals and again my asshole friends and high. I can't, I can't. I really want to move out of here. If I, if I didn't have a family in Los Angeles, I would move the fuck out of here. There's no reason to stay here. The place is full of fucking zombies. Brain dead, brainwashed and they're enthusiastic about their ignorance. Comedians getting on stage, shaming people for questioning big Pharma, shaming them for reading the top comedians in the fucking country I saw do it in front of my eyes night after night after night. They're fucking worthless. They not only betrayed comedy, they betrayed themselves. They betrayed their audiences, and now and then they wag their finger at me. They're the biggest fucking morons in the world, the people in Hollywood. I fucking can't stand them.
Kurt Metzger
I think what Bill Maher was saying was, if you lie to me, it makes it hard for me to do the half the country's bad thing.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Kurt Metzger
He's not. He's not like, he's not against hating half the country. He always has. But what he's. What he's against is, look, if you make it too stupid, I can't believe the lie.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Kurt Metzger
And it's like that.
Jimmy Dore
Like, give me Russia Gate. Give me a lie I can believe.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, a pee tape. I'll believe that shit even after it's proven to be wrong. Just don't say, like, if I can see that you made it up, that doesn't help me. And that's why this asshole from Fifth Column now. I know what Fifth Column is. That's the guy was there where they paid home. I'm pretty sure they had to have paid him. But they were coaching Coleman Hughes to go on Rogan and.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, that's who. That is Fifth Column.
Kurt Metzger
So I was probably this motherfucker.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Kurt Metzger
So. So, yeah, Jimmy Raskin. Did you see how he slithered away?
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Kurt Metzger
Bill said the thing. And then he goes, okay, but can I just say one more thing? We cut it. He's about to say one more evil worm tongue thing. And so that's him going, okay. I think it's ridiculous, too. No, you don't. You're desperate because Kamala's not doing well.
Jimmy Dore
You don't. You don't think. You don't. You know, if you didn't think Russiagate was ridiculous or January 6th prosecutions are ridiculous. You know, you don't think Liz Cheney thing. The only reason you're saying it's ridiculous is because Bill Maher is fucking saying it right in your face, and you got nowhere to hide or run.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah. You know, you got to suck up to which is Bill Maher crowd. But by the way, who the fuck turns to a thought leader? I mean, you really are dumb cattle if you. You like people. He's a thought leader. A thought leader. Shut the fuck up.
Jimmy Dore
Hang on. Let's see if there's anything left to this.
Jamie Raskin
And I agree with you. All of. All those criticisms are fair. But there's been a lot of violence, as Nancy Pelosi knows.
Bill Maher
Oh, it's.
Jamie Raskin
And a lot of threats.
Kurt Metzger
Talking about the lubed hammer incident.
Jimmy Dore
He's Talking. He's talking about some. How did that.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, some nut. Yeah. Well, that's amazing.
Jimmy Dore
Correctly, isn't it amazing? That guy who hit Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer. Hammer. We've never seen an interview with that guy. No, we've never. No one's ever interviewed that guy. How did you get there? How did you know Paul Pelosi? Hey, who was the other guy in the car when Paul Pelosi was drunk driving and he got in an accident? Who was that guy? Who. How did this guy get in here? What was that all about? Why did you both have cocktail. Why did he have a cocktail in his hand? What? Nobody. Nobody ever. And that all. That all just goes away. Again, you're not allowed to ask questions. Obvious questions. You're not even allowed to interview that guy. They interview fucking Manson. Yeah, and they interview Manson in prison. My whole life they interviewed him in prison. Nobody's going to interview the guy who took a hammer to Paul Pelosi's head. Really?
Kurt Metzger
Well, you don't want to platform him.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, and you're not allowed to ask questions about it. And the violence. When he talk about violence. What was a. What was that Summer of Black Lives Matter where they burned down fucking police stations? What was that? That wasn't violence. What are you talking about?
Kurt Metzger
It turned out their lives don't matter at all. We're bringing in illegal immigrants to take up all the resources.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, Donald Trump was shot at twice in the last couple of months. Two assassination attempts, but you're going to talk about some fucking call boy taking a hammer to Paul Pelosi? Really?
Kurt Metzger
There is no evidence, Jimmy, of that. I mean, I assume I'm not allowed to know anything.
Jimmy Dore
No, no, there's no. There's no evidence of that. Of course we're not allowed. We're not allowed to ask questions. Nobody's done it. Nobody's done any investigation on it. You're not even allowed to interview that guy. Nobody knows anything about it. Just like Seth Rich. Just like John Podesta's buddy who debunked Pizzagate, who now is arrested for banging toddlers.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, well, guess what? Here's one good thing you did. He's letting everybody put that evidence back up on Twitter that they've been trying to suppress.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Kurt Metzger
Years. And I don't think it's going to go good for none of these people, especially soy sauce hair over here.
Jimmy Dore
I saw you had a guest on, I think today or yesterday, and they're talking a lot about January 6th. Now, I sniffed that out pretty quickly as a FBI psyop, you know, when the Christopher Wray, the head of the FBI, was asked point blank, did you have FBI assets dressed up as MAGA support inside the Capitol before the riot started? And he said, I can't answer that question. Well, that was it. I knew. Exactly. And I, you know, I, I knew that the, you know, half those days, those people showed up because they were pissed off about an election they thought was stolen, just like the other half of the country thought that Russia stole an election for four years. And they showed up to protest, and they didn't know it, really. They were trying to overthrow the government. A bunch of guys in pajama bottoms and buffalo helmets. I'm gonna go to Nancy Pelosi's office and take a shit. That's not a coup, that's a poo. Okay? And half of those people got pushed in to the Capitol by the FBI plants in the crowd, and the other half got let in by the cops who took the fences away. And I know that because I saw it on your show. I saw the video. They did every. Those, those cops did everything except erect a bouncy house inside the Capitol for the protesters. And so tell me. So if that was an FBI setup, and we have, by the way, video, Mike Benz talked about it on my show of Nancy Pelosi saying they've now trespassed on federal land, that's exactly what we wanted. So, of course this was a setup. And so why is that important? And what does it mean?
Tucker Carlson
Well, it's important because it shows that the most publicized crime since 911 was fake. I mean, like the war in Ukraine, which was effectively started by the Biden administration prodding Russia with threats of, including Ukraine and NATO. Prodding Russia to invade Ukraine. It's the opposite of what they tell us. Oh, it's unprovoked war. Okay. It was the opposite of that. You provoked the war. January 6th was not an insurrection. No, it was an op where Nancy Pelosi and others, I would say, on a bipartisan basis, use the outrage of Trump voters who thought the election was stolen. People actually believe in the Constitution. Maybe they're wrong. I mean, tell me how they're wrong. We could have a debate. But these were not insurrectionists. These are people trying to defend the system they grew up in. They believe in democracy. Unlikely. Cheney. And they were painted as sort of the dangerous extremists. They were all unarmed. It was like an inordinate number of, you know, 65 year old diabetic grandmothers with two bankruptcies. You know, Ashley Babbitt was a pool cleaner and a US Military veteran, an Air Force veteran who was barely over 5ft tall, unarmed, shot to death by Michael Byrd, who was a Capitol Police officer with a documented history of reckless behavior with a firearm. And there's no investigation into it. He's not censured? No. You know what happened to Michael Byrd? He got government funded bodyguards to protect him at home because he was the victim of hate. Because people ask questions like, are you allowed to just shoot unarmed women now? Without even explaining why you did it, without even pretending there was a physical threat to you? He didn't even pretend it. She was standing on the other side of the door. He murdered her. And everybody in Washington, almost every single member of Congress, almost 435 Republicans as well, said, thank you, Michael Bird, for protecting us. This woman got murdered. I mean, you may hate her politics, you may hate her. You're not allowed to murder people if. And no one's allowed to murder people. And the government especially is not allowed to murder people. And they just kind of let it. I mean, to this day, no one will talk about it. Her mother showed up on the Capitol to protest her daughter's murder, and she was promptly arrested for jaywalking. I'm not making this up. You can find the video online. So you just realize the whole point of this exercise is to usher in a police state. If I'm wrong, tell me how. But clearly that's what the point is. And rather than do it in a straightforward way, you know, where you just, like, dress up in a black uniform and beat me with a. With a truncheon. I mean, that's bad, but at least I know what's happening. You do it in this feminized, passive aggressive way where you enslave me and then lecture me about being immoral. There's something about it that's. I can't tolerate it because it's too feminized for me. I'm a man, and I believe if you're going to attack someone, say I'm going to attack you and then punch them in the face because we both know what's going on. What I don't believe in is shooting someone and then claiming you're the victim. Shooting an unarmed woman and then claiming you need protection because you're under attack. I can't deal with that. I mean, that's too dysfunctional for me. It's too dishonest.
Jimmy Dore
I agree. And you know, I've had this Conversation with many people. Famously, with Cornel west on my show when he said that Donald Trump was a fascist and Joe Biden wasn't, because Donald Trump tried to overthrow the peaceful transfer of power on January 6th. And I was like, really? A bunch of second amendment gun nuts showed up to overthrow the government, and son of a bitch, they forgot their guns. Isn't that what. I bet they were embarrassed. I really. Hey, Mike, you got the guns? No, I brought Mittens. Oh, shit. So I. What. What do Dick Cheney and Kamala Harris have in common?
Tucker Carlson
Oh, everything. Everything. You know, a worship of violence. I mean, for years, I defended Cheney. I know Cheney. I've been hunting with Cheney more than once.
Jimmy Dore
Watch out. It's dangerous. That was dangerous.
Tucker Carlson
No, no, actually, literally have been.
Jimmy Dore
You're a survivor.
Tucker Carlson
So I just want to. I'm only saying that, obviously not to brag, but just to say this is a world that I'm very familiar with and a world that I spent an awful lot of time defending over the years to my shame. I'm repenting of that now in a heartfelt way. I'm ashamed that I did that. But my conclusion is that a lot of the criticism aimed at Cheney originally was right, that this is a person who spent his life in the federal bureaucracy without risking anything. Of course. And bureaucracies of all kinds, particularly ours, reward kind of feline behavior. You know, kissing up and pissing down. They reward the most dishonorable kind of behavior. And people who spend their lives in them wind up in kind of a Walter Mitty state of mind, where they imagine that all the kind of disgusting infighting they're doing is actually noble, and they transfer this desire for heroism onto the rest of the world in the form of war. In other words, if you're Tony Blinken, and you're clearly a guy who has no respect at all from his own wife, because no woman could respect Tony Blinken, how do you compensate for that? Well, you just kill a lot of people, and then you feel like, well, I'm Winston Churchill now. I'm a hero out of history. And clearly that's going on with Dick Cheney, and clearly it's going on with Kamala Harris. And I think it's one of the reasons, famously, that she put all those black dudes in jail for smoking joints or whatever she did, because it made her feel like, I'm tough now. I'm strong. But the truth is, it doesn't make you strong to hurt the helpless, the defenseless at all. It makes you cruel. It makes you A bully. It makes you a contemptible figure. You know, strong people, you know, you got a problem with me, like, let's, you know, throw down your weapon and let's fight. I mean, that's what the honorable response is. But people like Dick Cheney or that mustachioed creep who Trump has at his national security adviser, John Bolton, guys like that, I mean, they've never been to war. I mean, they are the classic definition of chicken hawk. They've never been in a fist fight before. They have no appreciation for the cost of violence, and so they inflict it. And Liz Cheney is out of a movie that way. And I will say, and I'm going to say something controversial, probably disavow me, but I've just noticed it that, you know, my whole childhood, I heard, growing up in Southern California that we need more women in leadership because they'd be more reasonable and more peaceful. You know, they'd be conciliatory, they'd be the mother figures. And I thought that sounded right to me. And I was not, not against that at all. But in effect, what we've seen is the most bloodthirsty people on the national stage are not exclusively women, but they're disproportionately women. They are. I don't know what that's about. No, I'm, I'm serious.
Kurt Metzger
Wait, wait, wait, Tucker, what about women with dicks, though?
Tucker Carlson
Well, that's, you know, they're probably. Honestly, I think Bruce Jenner is probably a little bit less likely to send you to war than Toria Newland.
Kurt Metzger
Very reasonable woman, very intelligent, very, very strong woman.
Jimmy Dore
They didn't say it.
Tucker Carlson
No, it's true. They didn't say it was like, what is that? Why doesn't someone account for that? Like, why is it every time I look around at someone in the Congress, you know, the most blood, Victoria Spartz or whatever Republican, you know, the women who were, like, the members who were the most excited about sending some grotesque new killing device, cluster bombs to Ukraine, they're women. Like, what is that again? They've never been in a fistfight, guaranteed. They have no experience of violence whatsoever. So as someone who has had his ass kicked twice, I've had two black eyes because I got drunk and threw the first punch, and twice. Both times I got crushed because I was the aggressor. And what did I learn from that? First of all, I better quit drinking, which I did. And the second thing I learned from that is don't pick fights actually get your ass kicked.
Libsyn Ads
Time for rematch.
Tucker Carlson
And we were the black guy twice.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Tucker Carlson
You learned something from that.
Kurt Metzger
Well, I figured these people thought that way when they started saying words are violence. And I was like, oh, you have not experience any violence?
Tucker Carlson
Well, it also violence worshippers themselves like that. They're into violence. It makes them feel powerful, makes them feel like God.
Kurt Metzger
Well, anime. That's what I believe.
Jimmy Dore
As my friend Keaton Weiss said last weekend, you know Kamala Harris's whole life, well, first she had an affair with Willie Brown, and then she married Doug Emhoff, and then now she's slaughtering children in Palestine. Her whole life has been one game of fuck, marry or kill. And that's great. Here's my thing about the Democrats and any of them is that it's not natural. It's like as a liberal, you. You mostly want to help on a street level. I, like most liberals, don't want to run for power and get very high up. Same thing with women. Not that women don't want to run businesses, but they tend to be our nurses and their care for people. There's a certain type of psychopath that wants to get that high. That isn't normal. Nobody at that level is normal.
Tucker Carlson
So look, that's such an insightful point. Thank you for saying that. You're absolutely right. That answers my question, actually, that it's not that women are more for violence. I don't think that they are. No woman in my life is for violence, that's for sure. It's the women who ascend to positions of political authority. Man, they are disproportionately warmonger. Lunar.

Dore criticizes Fetterman's unwavering support for Israel, suggesting that it alienates key voter groups without considering their electoral significance.
The discussion transitions into a broader critique of the Democratic Party's strategies, particularly focusing on their failure to appeal to blue-collar and working-class voters. Dore argues that by neglecting these demographics, Democrats inadvertently paved the way for Trump’s resurgence.
